Slate has some remarkable properties. Its differing colour and textures can add dramatic effect to your home. It has a natural grain, and is both hard and durable. It is chemically inert, and non-porous. It's water proof, damp proof, and has great intrinsic strength and cannot warp, shrink, or rot. The perfect building material!

Historically slate has been used for everything from laboratory bench tops to billiard tabletops. In 18th and 19th century schools, slate was extensively used for blackboards and individual writing slates with chalk pencils for those hardworking students.

There is no more convincing proof of the resistance of natural slate to time and weather than the abbey roof of Mont Saint Michel. Built in 709, it is a testament to slates enduring and timeless quality.
